Faint knocking noise in my car when i first accelerate. Please read below before answering.?

This might be a 'long shot' but when my car does this first thing in the morning it's because of one of the mounts on either the strutt or an A-arm. It will clunk like that first thing in the morning and once it's settled in, unless I change directions and make the car's body shift some it won't do it again until the next morning. Since it's not a big issue and my car's old, I just ignore it because I know all the body mounts are good and the suspension is fine otherwise. It's a start for looking for your problem and once you know which side the noise is coming from you can zero in on a fix.

have you tried just putting the car in neutral and seeing if it will knock without moving? if it knocks this would obviously indicate the engine is the issue and in which case you'd have to figure that out, usually knocking is from something in the oil, and so if your engine is what's knocking i would do an oil flush, buy Gunk's motor flush next time you change the oil, and then before you add the new oil put in lucas oil stabilizer, that stuff is the best for your engine, and then top off with some good oil (No supertech!!! that stuff is terrible). you should do all of this regardless because it's good for your engine. but also it would be good to know if your car is an OHV or an OHC, if it is an OHV then it could be your lifters knocking.

I used to have a Peugeot 106 (Shared chassis with Citroen Saxo) On my 106, as I cornered left mutually as accelerating i could hear a knocking noise, even though it replaced into below me interior the transmission tunnel! i replaced into disturbing reminiscent of you, I had each and every little thing checked, loosened and re-tightened. It nevertheless replaced into there. interior the tip, i chanced on what it replaced into whilst my spouse replaced into making use of and that i replaced into tailing tailing her, I observed the exaust shifting excessively bouncing of an exhaust mount. The screw had rusted away, even though it hovered there as though attatched, till it replaced into compelled suited by making use of turning left mutually as accelerating, then the mount dropped particularly, and knocked the exhaust! no longer something intense interior the tip, get your vehicle up on a ramp and start up vigourously shifting the exhaust factor to factor from front to returned, see no remember if it relatively is loose. sturdy success.
